Chapter Two
It was a sunny day here in the Amazon as I hunted after a large black panther. It's my prey and I am the predator. When it goes to attack it's own prey, I lunge at the animal and sink my teeth into it– drinking the warm blood. Alice was around the area somewhere while Jasper stayed home with Renesmee.
I smiled as I felt the sun blazing on my back. Oh, how I loved the heat of the amazon sun on my skin. It reminded me of the Tennessee sun back home, though the Amazon climate isn't like that good ole Tennessee climate. I could recall summers I spent with Emmett running around in a sun like this. Spending hot days like this in a swimming hole nearby our old house or just running barefoot around the forest.
"Mom!" I heard Renesmee yell. I turn to see Alice was done with her meal and she was motioning to go towards the sound of Renesmee's yell, which was coming from the house.
"They have something important going on. We should go," Alice said. I nodded as I go to dispose the animal carcass and run back to the house with my sister. When we got there, we found them gathered on our front yard. Jasper was rolling his eyes at his niece, Renesmee had a phone in hand, and Zafrina and Senna were trying to talk to her about something.
"Renesmee, I don't know how your mother will feel about this. Maybe Kachiri, Senna, and I should just go. This is involving the Volturi and if they find out about Alice's power, your mother's, or even about you, it could be very dangerous," Zafrina said in a chiding tone.
"Zafrina, don't you get it! There could be a child like me out there who is scared of the Volturi, of course I'll want to help!" Renesmee exclaimed, a bit dramatically.
"Just like your mother, selfless," Jasper muttered. Renesmee rolled her eyes and nudged him in the side playfully.
"Very funny, Uncle Jazz."
"What's going on here?" I asked. They snap from their discussion to face Alice and I. Renesmee stepped up to face me first with a grin on her face.
"Mom, Maggie just called me from this tiny town called Forks. You know the Cullen's, right?" she asked. I nodded. Zafrina, Kachiri, and Senna had met the coven decades ago. They mentioned they were a very large and powerful coven of animal drinkers. The Denali's also mentioned them once or twice when I'd occasionally visit the Alaskan vampires.
"Well," Renesmee continued. "Maggie says there is a child there that Irina of the Denali coven accused of being an immortal child, and she went and told the Volturi about her. The thing is that this child is like me, half human and half vampire. Now they need help proving she isn't an immortal child! We need to help them and I want to meet this child, so please mother can we just tell others about me! I really want to meet her! I never met another one like me besides Nahuel!" my daughter said, practically begging on her knees.
I've never seen her beg this much since she was younger. I had a strange urge that was making me want to go as well. I kind of did want to help testify with this family against the Volturi, it's always in my character to help others. Also I never liked the Volturi very much, nor did Zafrina and her sisters. But I was a tad scared and hesitant. What if the child wasn't a hybrid? And this is all some stupid trap that could end up in the death of all of us? Zafrina did mention that the Cullen's were good people. She said they were very kind to her, Senna, and Kachiri, but that was decades ago. Though my gut was telling me we needed to help them. Like something was pulling me to this tiny Washington town. Maybe it's also time to stop being so scared of the Volturi.
I sighed, knowing it's hard to win a fight against Renesmee, so I caved in. Alice chuckled, having a vision of my decision, and danced over to kiss my cheek.
"I think we're making the right choice. This family needs our help," she whispered, giggling. I chuckled as I go to face my daughter who had a very hopeful look on her face.
"Fine dear, we will travel to Washington and meet this child," I said. Next thing you know Renesmee goes to give me a massive hug. Something I'm pretty sure she inherited from her Uncle Emmett.
"Thank you so much mom!" Renesmee cried out in happiness.
"Looks like we're going to Forks!" Jasper said, letting his southern accent come through.
"Senna and I will join you all as well. Kachiri will try and retrieve Nahuel and Huilen. They might want to join as well," Zafrina announced as she motioned to her sisters.
"Alright. Come on, what are we waiting for! Let's go to Washington! Ye Haw!" Renesmee cheered. I laughed.
"Well girls, and Jasper, we need to pack," I said as I looked at my coven.
"Ya! Packing! Oh, Bella, are we flying?" Alice asked.
"I was thinking about running," I said, making her and Renesmee frown.
"But Mom, I don't wanna run," Renesmee pouted. "I'm not as fast as you guys. I need sleep unlike you freaks!"
Jasper snorted at this while Alice giggled.
"I'll carry you. Look dear, we can take a plane back. Let's just see if this child is even what Maggie says it is. Anyway it's faster if we run," I told her. "Plus you know Zafrina and Senna, they hate planes. We should be there in the morning."
"Well Maggie never lies, if you didn't notice in the last few decades that's her power," Renesmee remarked in a huff. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"Renesmee Carlie, don't use that tone with me or we'll not-"
"Sorry! Sorry Momma!" she said. I chuckled as I go to hug her, and give a kiss on her forehead.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I whispered to her. She nodded and pulled away from me slightly.
"Never been more sure in my entire live." she grinned at me. I chuckled as I hugged her tighter.
"I love you my little nudger," I said, chuckling a bit.
"You haven't called me that in years," she mused. I smiled as I went to kiss her temple.
"Well this trip might bring some memories back to me from when you were a baby, missy," I said, tapping her nose playfully. She chuckled before Alice starts to yell.
"Isabella Marie and Renesmee Carlie, get your asses in this home right now!"
"I'd go. As you all know, Alice has to pick out a few outfits and this ain't gonna be pretty," Jasper teased with us.
The three of us proceeded to head into our home. It was a small, two story, spanish style house that we had built after we decided to have more permeant residence here. Zafrina and her sisters prefer to live in huts still, but they don't live too far.
We became pretty rich since we don't all eat human food, except Renesmee. It also helps that Alice has helped make us millions through the stock market and through smaller things like lotto. Because of this little pix, we've been able to make money in a whole bunch of stuff with her physic ability.
Plus we've all had jobs over the years. We've been to high school a few times as well. The first time was when we were traveling around the U.S back in the 1960s. After living years in the Amazon we missed U.S soil, so we decided for a change and lived around the U.S for almost ten years. Whenever we miss our home soil, we'll leave the Amazon for a little bit and try living normal human lives. I've gone to college twice. Once in the 1960s, to get my degree in English at Dartmouth, and then in the 1980s where I attended Harvard to get my Ph.D in English Literature.
Those are the only times we've ever really been out of the Amazon. We do have three homes in the United States– one in New Hampshire, an apartment in New York, and a home in Tennessee, not to far away from where my family's old cabin used to be. We also have Jasper's old home in Texas, but we can't visit often since it's barley cloudy in Texas. Otherwise our main home is the Amazon.
Our house in the Amazon is right off a water fall and all of our energy is solar. My daughter still needs human necessitates since she is part human, like a bed for sleeping and some human food, even though she prefers blood. Normally we have to go into the main town a few miles away from here for her human necessities.
As I entered our home, I see the grand piano and automatically think of Edward. He use to play for me all the time in Chicago, but now Renesmee does. One thing I love, that somehow Renesmee has inherited from her father, is his musical genius.
We had a small little out cove kitchen for Renesmee and a little table. Then we had our huge windows and french doors going all around the back side of the house to get a view of the water fall. I always loved looking at it during the night. We had a large flat screen against one of the walls surrounded by two big leather couches. We also have a small little library filled with books.
I head over to my room. It was an average sized room that had a big bed in the middle with a blue comforter. I had a large book case on the wall with a small little T.V hanging across from my bed. It had photos all over of my family. I was able to get one photo of Edward from his old residence. It was his class picture when he was a human, but it was something and I treasured it.
I even had one photo of Emmett and I. framed. Those are two photos I never go without, so I place them in my my small little backpack. I begin to fill it up with clothes, my credit card, and a my fake license. Jasper knows a guy, J. Jenks, that we get our fake ID's and information. I normally go by Isabella Marie Swan, with Alice and Renesmee Swan as my sisters. Jasper is Alice's boyfriend living with us. Or Renesmee and I are Jasper's siblings, and I'm a Whitlock. We change it up from time to time, but normally it's just for when we go out into the human world.
I quickly changed out of my clothes I just used for hunting and into a blue v-neck sweater, jeans, and laced up brown boots. As I pull my shirt, and like always, I notice the scars going across my stomach from the day Renesmee was born. Jasper and Alice had to use their teeth to help tear open the protective barrier Renesmee was in. I sighed as I tightly pull my sweater over my body, before grabbing my black winter coat in the closet. I go to grab my backpack and head out into the main hall of the house. I see Alice is carrying a very large luggage with her while Jasper has his own backpack.
"I limited the clothes, see!" Alice exclaimed, pointing to the luggage. I chuckled.
"Have fun carrying that," I said to her. She sticks her tongue at me in a playful manner and goes to nudge me.
"Ready Mom." I looked to see my daughter with a backpack all ready and a change of new clothing. "I packed for the chilly weather as well," she said as she walked over. Renesmee was dressed in gray tights, jean skirt, brown boots, purple scarf, black winter coat and underneath that is a purple t-shirt with a wolf on it.
"Come on, Senna and Zafrina are all ready!" Renesmee chirped, looking out of the big window in the front. I go to take her hand with Alice and Jasper following. There we meet up with Zafrina and Senna, who were all ready to leave.
"Ready?" Senna asked.
"Yep! I can't wait!" Renesmee exclaimed. We ran up to the South American boarder, where I put Renesmee on my back so she could sleep. Soon after running all the was from the Amazon, we were right up to Forks, Washington. The rainiest town in the continental U.S.
